About LICENSEWARE
What is LICENSEWARE?
LICENSEWARE is a modular Software Asset Management (SAM) platform that helps IT and procurement teams control software costs, reduce compliance risk, and prepare for audits. It connects to 60+ inventory, ITSM, and discovery tools (or uses its own collector) to centralize licenses, contracts, and renewals in one view.
The problem it solves
Managing software licenses across multiple vendors is complex and error-prone. LICENSEWARE automates the heavy lifting: it normalizes data, flags end-of-life and unauthorized installs, detects functional overlap, and tracks entitlement positions as your environment changes. The built-in AI assistant, NEO, answers licensing questions instantly and generates insight reports in minutes.
Who is it for?
Built for IT and procurement teams managing 1,000+ device estates with multi-vendor licensing complexity. Ideal for organizations with Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, Java, and Adobe licenses. It's not for small businesses with simple licensing needs.
Real use cases
Use LICENSEWARE to detect idle Microsoft 365 E5 seats and downgrade to E3 to reclaim $112K annually, or to identify 3 redundant project management tools and standardize on one to save $186K. It also helps you respond to vendor audits with confidence by providing a full audit trail.
Key features
